QUESTION: I have heard some things about Biological Stimulator products which are used at very low rates. How can these products be effective when they are used at just ounces per acre instead of quarts or gallons?

ANSWER: CAF makes a line of Biological Stimulator products which produce some remarkable results, even at very low rates. These products are made using organic compounds of nutrients, fermentation products, natural plant extracts and other compounds needed for good soil and plant health. During the fermentation process, other substances which are essential to plant growth such as peptides, amino acids and organic acids are produced. Natural plant extracts have been shown to increase absorption of nutrients by increasing the cell wall permeability of the plant structure. Scientists have found that substances found in fermentation products and natural plant extracts can cause or accelerate the biochemical acitivity within soil and plant sturctures. For instance, we have produced field test results which show that 4 ounces of BORON X-TRA, one of CAF's Biological Stimulator nutrients, provides the same amount of boron uptake to trees as 1 pound of Solubor.
